For the past ten years and counting, the Found Footage Festival has toured the country, with co-founders founders Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett presenting their carefully curated found video treasures on the big screen. Tomorrow and Friday, the Found Footage Festival land at Seattle’s Central Cinema. In advance of the shows (one on Thursday, two on Friday), David Schmader at The Stranger chatted up Nick Preuher about all things FFF.

Joe and Nick are coming to Seattle and bringing their Found Footage Fest back to Central Cinema, this time for two nights. In the past we have had to squeeze three back-to-back shows into one night to accommodate their hectic tour schedule. This year we get to spread it out a little over both Thursday and Friday December 4th & 5th. Joe and Nick are so funny it literally hurts to go to their show. Vol. 7 is their latest installment of new material dug up from the FFF cave. These shows always sell out but there is still some room at all three showtimes. Don’t let your procrastinating self miss out this year, go get some tickets now before its too late………

We are having our own super special Black Friday sale here at Central Cinema. For one night only we will have Punchcards good for 10 movie admissions on sale for only $50. You get 10 admissions for $5 each! That was our ticket price way back in 2005 and during the DCP Projector Kickstarter last year. For one night we are letting you get that super deal again. Stuff the stocking of a special someone with a years worth of movies at a super special price. These are only available in person at our box office on Friday Nov 28th from 5:30 pm til midnight. As if you needed an excuse to come see the 4K digital restoration of Casablanca or the dreamy France of Amelie this Friday. Blow off the big box mall shopping mayhem for a night at the movies and score a deal on movies presents too. Then have a glass of wine and dream of sunny France…..

Any remaining punchcards will be on sale after Friday at the regular advance price of $70 for 10 admissions, equivalent to our early discount. We’ll have these while supplies last, when they’re gone, they’re gone.

8 British actors and a narcoleptic director travel to the Norwegian Arctic Circle to film Henrik Ibsen’s play ‘The Lady From The Sea’.Thinking it will be an easy task, they are soon overwhelmed by the surreal surroundings and the never ending daylight. This magnifies the internal tensions in the cast and influences their personal lives and the film itself. We follow them through their strife, joy and adventures to the culmination of what turns out to be a great film and a success for everyone involved.

Please join us Movie Lovers in Washington, especially if you’re an Outlander fan, to watch this independent film filled with great talent, such as Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser in Outlander), Laura Donnelly (Jenny Fraser Murray in Outlander) and more!​ Movie Lovers in Washington is a fun group of screen fans to enjoy an evening at the movies with.
